GM GM from beautiful Frankfurt,

There are exactly two types of people reading this: Those who noticed the last issue was a whole two weeks ago, and those who completely missed it.

What I'm trying to say is: Your girl vickchick030 has been busy busy with preparations for another major project that got announced this week: Tokenization Season 2025.

Plus, a ton of other cool stuff happened in the w3 ecosystem that's going to fill up this newsletter issue, so heads up: No consumer crypto news this time, just pure vibes.

And if we're being honest, even though cc'd is somehow also consumer crypto, it mainly stands for how I keep you cc'd. And that's exactly what's been happening these past 2 weeks.

I've worn quite a few hats in our companies. And those who've been following us might have noticed we went on “tour” earlier this year. Events in Zurich, London, Frankfurt, and Berlin, plus industry calls and tons of content.

The only difference from our regular events: More suit-wearers, fewer degens. And this is NOT bad! Listen to me.

The topics: Digital assets and what that means for institutions. Our 8 partners opened their playbooks and created space for exchange, all within a curated crowd.

The feedback: Very, very good.

And now we're back. So let me warmly welcome you to Tokenization Season 2025.

Between August and November, we're focusing on tokenization and stablecoins – because we're at a genuine inflection point.

Tokenization has crossed from theory to practice, with major financial institutions launching market-ready products.

The question is no longer "if" tokenization will transform finance, but "how" to implement solutions that impact the P&L today.

We've partnered with category leaders including Galaxy, Chainlink, Stellar, Fireblocks, Morpho, Bpifrance, 21X, and BCP partners to connect TradFi-makers with tokenization solutions across different asset classes.

The events are already live and registration is open!

Glad to do all of this again with Maximilian Vargas and his team from Blockstories!

More than 3 years ago, we hosted our very first community event with the creative name w3.pizza. Besides knowledge pieces and tons of vibes, there was, well, pizza. The format grew and took place in many cities around the world.

Since last year, we've significantly neglected our own events to meet community demand – it feels like countless events happen at our community space every week.

But good news: We're back.

After seeing 250+ events at w3.hub, we've learned what works and we're combining the best of it into one unique event concept.

A monthly event series, hosted and curated by us – for the community, with the community.

Our goal is simple: To make every person in the room feel seen, inspired, and part of something.

Remember my "No Panels" LinkedIn post?

Here too, experience is everything, and we want to invite you to join us once a month, always bringing a theme with us.

For this, we're looking for you – sponsors, community partners, or anyone else who wants to help.

Be among the very first w3.pizza community partners and shape this next chapter with us.

We celebrated Ethereum's 10th birthday with over 100 people at w3.hub. Here are some of my favorite posts:

Our newest w3.hub member Quincy and her company Antelope Swap are all about protecting your privacy.

Next Thursday, they’re hosting an event to open up the conversation and give the topic the spotlight it deserves.

Everyone is hyped about OneFootball

During Berlin Blockchain Week, we co-hosted the OneFootball Club Global Kickoff Event, their first IRL meetup. It brought together the community and partners like Base, Animoca Brands, FIFA Rivals and w3.hub.

They launched their token and well… They are oversubscribed:

w3.hub was on Berlins largest billboard

What our w3.fund portfolio company is working on…

Our friends and supporters from M^0 Labs are hiring!

That’s it.

See you next week 💅🏽
